RUBBER OVER-SHOE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,951, dated October 21, 188%.

Application filed May 19, 1884. (No model.)

consists in a strap fixed to the rubber and having a button hole or holes to engage over a button on the shoe.

In order that my invention may be more fully understood, 1 will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawing, which represents a rubber having the attaching strap applied thereto.

1 is a rubber overshoe, having at rear a strap, 2, fixed thereto or formed in one there- 1 with. Slits 8 are provided in said strap for passing over a button, 4, on the dress-shoe 5. The length of the strap and the position of the l button 4 may be varied as desired.

The improvement will be seen to be easily adjusted and to possess no unnecessary straps requiring time and trouble to operate. Should it not be desired to'use the attachment at any time, it can be turned in under the heel of the shoe, and thus be out of the way.

Having thus described my inventio11,the following is what I claim as new therein and de sire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. An overshoe ha ving an upwardly-projecting heel-strap provided with means, sub stantially as described, for buttoning to a shoe, as shown and set forth.

1 2. An overshoe having an upwardly eX- tending heel-strap provided with one or more 5 held in place, all substantially as set forth.
